Popular YouTuber KSI is set to throw down with social media star Logan Paul in the boxing ring, once again – but that isn’t stopping him from stirring up beef with other personalities ahead of his rematch.
Although KSI’s most famous rivalry lies with Logan Paul, he likewise had beef with fellow YouTuber Alex Wassabi in 2018, after Wassabi responded to KSI’s call for boxing opponents following his match with Joe Weller.
One year later, Wassabi sparred with fellow YouTuber Fouseytube in an August 25 video – but things didn’t go very well for the challenger.
Their sparring match ended in a KO for Wassabi, after Fouseytube launched a solid headshot that saw his opponent crumple to the canvas in Round 2.
Of course, the YouTubers’ match caught the attention of KSI, who openly mocked Wassabi for getting KO’d in a savage video on August 27 – even asking his viewers to spam the clown emoji underneath Wassabi’s social media posts.
“You always find a new way to make me laugh,” KSI chuckled. “…he couldn’t even beat Fouseytube. It’s a shame, because Alex actually did alright! …but god damn, one punch from Fousey and he’s dropped!”
